Bought this in...2008 I think (5 years ago now) after playing PGR 3 and enjoying it. This was pretty much more of the same. But it doesn't look as good as I remember it doing....maybe my visual standards have been raised with the years of PC gaming. This had the same unusual halfway point of handling between arcade and simulation that PGR 3 had. Not quite hard enough to control to be a simulation but not quite easy enough to control to be an arcade game. Fun for a while, but the career mode sure felt like it was dragging towards the end because of the weird points ranking system where the other racers on the board would keep getting more points so it ended up taking much longer than expected.
